Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ‘NOT going to engage in war of words with her dad Thomas’ – as the Queen ‘rolls her eyes’
Thomas Markle has hit out with a series of interviews in recent weeks in which he labelled the Royal Family 'cult-like' and similar to Scientologists
PRINCE Harry and Meghan Markle are refusing to be drawn into a war of words with her father after his public criticism of the couple in recent weeks.
Thomas Markle has hit out with a series of interviews in recent weeks in which he labelled the Royal Family "cult-like" and similar to Scientologists.
However, sources have now told that the frustrated couple will not try and set the record straight with him.
One told the paper: "Meghan doesn’t think it’s a fair game between her father and the media so she’s not going to engage in it or instruct anyone on her behalf to set the record straight.
"There have always been fears over his vulnerability.
"Now he’s got himself into a cycle of talking publicly. It’s very sad."
Another source close to Prince Charles added: "The prince will be very sympathetic towards Meghan and the difficult situation she is in.
"But I suspect the Queen will be rolling her eyes and thinking: crikey, what is going to become of all this?"
Kensington Palace declined to comment on the reports when contacted by today The Sun.
Markle is not believed to have spoken with her dad, 74, since shortly after the wedding when she and Prince Harry scolded him for secretly staging photoshoots.
Meanwhile, Thomas has hit out at a number of "outright lies" against him, such as that he is a prescription pill addict.
Speaking from his home in Mexico, he told The : "I've given just three interviews but there are thousands of stories circulating out there and it’s not right that people should be allowed to make up lies and get away with it.
"I’ve read stories saying I’m a drug addict or alcoholic. I don't understand where these stories come from. I’ve taken pills when I’ve been in pain but I’ve never abused drugs.
"You couldn’t move in Hollywood in the 1980s without seeing bowls of cocaine everywhere. But I don’t do drugs and I barely drink."
